Joe,

Understand that at high rpm the fingers on the pressure plate are forced around the bearing. So instead of the bearing pushing on the fingers and the fingers pushing on the pivots to raise the plate from the disc the bearing moves forward and pushes on the fingers of the pressure plate how ever due to the high rpm and loads that go with it they bend and do not move the plate off the disc.
This is an inherent problem with this style plate. The same thing that gives you that nice soft pedal feel is the same thing that fails to work at high rpm.
The 3 finger type uses a solid bar and will not bend around the bearing. How ever because you are pushing in only three areas of the plate the pedal effort is higher to over come all of the force of the pressure plate.
Does any of that make sense to you?
I know what I want to say just not real sure I am getting it across the way I wish to.
The long and short of it is if you keep the rpm's down you should not have a problem with you curent set up. If you wish to really get on it and do high rpm shifts you will need to swap pressure plates to the 3 finger style.
